Transcript: Research showed how differentiating the instruction of vocabulary words in a science course could have an effect on student achievement. Although there is a large volume of material on DI, there is little evidence of which elements of differentiation do or do not benefit particular students and to what degree and under what circumstances benefits do or do not accrue. (Tomlinson and McTighe, 2006). Wetzel (2009) found that having students explain new vocabulary words in the students’ own term was an effective strategy used in order to increase exposure. The student had to use background knowledge to form a definition. Once vocabulary words have been discussed in a variety of ways, and students had been exposed to the words numerous times, students had a larger background knowledge and depth of meaning of the vocabulary words. Students then had to use higher level thinking skills to synthesize a definition. A pretest was administered at the beginning of the three weeks, and a post test at the end in order to detect any changes or achievement in comprehension of content base on the strategy used to teach the vocabulary words. The researcher introduced the vocabulary words as the unit developed and used the Frayer Model to help the students learn the new words. Introduction Frayer Model References Differentiated Instruction, as a means of academic achievement can be an important factor on how a school plans its curriculum. This study showed that by simply incorporating a new strategy, students where not only better able to comprehend science vocabulary words, but where also able to store the information into long-term memory.

The instrument used was the Frayer Model to demonstrate differentiate instruction. promotes critical thinking and helps students to identify and understand unfamiliar vocabulary. draws on the students’ prior knowledge which helps them build connections among new concepts and creates a visual reference by which they can learn to compare attributes and examples. Brummitt-Yale (2009) affirmed that learning through association, by drawing a picture or symbol, was one of the four main strategies for acquiring new vocabulary. A reader was able to connect a new word to prior knowledge. These “…. nonverbal representations could be a powerful tool for student learning” (Fries-Gaither, 2009, para. 9). Students acquired understanding of the vocabulary term by associating the concepts with ideas that are already understood by each individual student. The learning was personalized and was based on previous knowledge hence better connections were made within the students’ minds.
